moved to town when i was seventeen   a token entry in the music scene   my kingdom for an ax   yah i was settled down if i could relax      ten thousand people sharing one big scream   fourteen people reading magazines   and i pray tonite to keep my soul at bay   give me one good reason before i stay      he's the man in the middle   he's the man in the corner   you might not even know his name   but he'll share his songs with you all the same      he's the man in the middle   no he's the man in the corner   another town and unconscious bar, well   all you need need is love to drive this         picture yourself in a boat downstream   endless searching for the sites unseen   my kingdom for a song   don't need to settle down no that would take to long   ten million people sharing the same dreams   ten million reasons for no use it seems   turn over tables some go some stay like   changing seasons and he still plays      he's the man in the middle   no he's the man in the corner   might not even know his name   but he'll tear his heart out for you all the same      yah he's the man in the middle   no he's the man in the corner   out of fuel, need to travel far, well   all you need is love to drive this   all you need is love to drive this   all you need is love   and baby you can drive   you know i'm going to be   baby you can drive   you know i'm going to be   and baby you can drive   you know you'll always be   and baby you can drive   you know you'll always be   you know you'll always be   you know you'll always be   a star
